I agree with what you are saying. If the UN can get involved with this and actually make a change. it can be a huge relief for people all over the world. Other countries should consider doing something along the lines of this, because it can help end massive problem that the world is experiencing right now.
I completely agree with what you are saying. The UN should defiantly get more involved in the increasing price of food. If many lower class people are having a hard time dealing with this issue, which seems to be the case, then the problem has to be stopped immediately before price of food is a continual issue among all classes. This issue will resolve so many issues not only with saving money in food, but also being able to spend money on other necessities at an affordable request.
I agree with what you said about this article. I think world hunger is a horrible thing that should be stopped. Many countries should get involved to try to stop and resolve this issue because as you said many of the lower classes can not afford the food and will eventually starve to death. This is a serious issue and I think it is good they are trying to stop it, but I also think they could do a better job if many other countries get involved.
